Hazardous Waste Identification
Corrosive
Ignitable
Reactive
Toxicor if
Listed
Wastes are considered hazardous if they exhibitone or more
of the following characteristics:
![Page 10: Presented by: Hazard Communication And Your Right - To - Know Francois D. Song, Ph.D.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bfce1a28abf838ca98da/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
How Do I Know?Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)– provides information on:– safe handling and disposal– physical properties and hazards– safe storage
– internet references– www.hazard.com– www.msdssearch.com–many more on page 18 of guidebook
– Call ESS Department at 486-7161 for more information– Call manufacturer or supplier of product

Container Management
Containers should be:
– Compatible with waste
– Clean
– Sturdy, leak proof
– Closed, tight-fitting cap
– Appropriate size
– Under control of person producing waste
– Labeled with hazardous waste label
![Page 13: Presented by: Hazard Communication And Your Right - To - Know Francois D. Song, Ph.D.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bfce1a28abf838ca98da/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Hazardous Waste Labeling
Labels
– Identify hazardous waste
– List all components and their percentages
– Identify hazard properties
– Name, location, and phone number of person responsible for waste
– Remove other extraneous labels
![Page 14: Presented by: Hazard Communication And Your Right - To - Know Francois D. Song, Ph.D.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bfce1a28abf838ca98da/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Hazardous Waste Accumulation Area
Located in Shop Mark area clearly Proper containers and
labels Segregate incompatibles Secondary containment
for liquid containers Spill kit
Only one container of each hazardous waste
Maximum storage:
– 55 gallons
– 1 quart acutely hazardous
Post emergency information
![Page 15: Presented by: Hazard Communication And Your Right - To - Know Francois D. Song, Ph.D.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bfce1a28abf838ca98da/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Biomedical Waste Packaging
Double-lined red biohazard bags
In rigid containers
Within weight limits
Double tape bags when full
Label with college label obtained from Coordinating Dept
Close container and triple tape seams
Notify ESS @ 486-7161
Good practice: Autoclave infectious waste
![Page 20: Presented by: Hazard Communication And Your Right - To - Know Francois D. Song, Ph.D.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bfce1a28abf838ca98da/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Pollution Prevention Strategy
Reduced scale– “micro scale” experiments
Reduced toxicity/chemical substitutionReuse & recovery of lab chemicalsDetoxification– lab experiments that produce a less
toxic/hazardous substanceComputer modeling & simulations– demo experiments vs. chemical usage
